MKW sold over 30 million copies and MK8 was the most requested game at the Best Buy demos, but nope! Nintendo believes we need a platformer that looks like it was on the 3DS and ported over. They should get more people working on MK8 so they can release it sooner and save the WII U before the PS4 and Xbone come flying down and wipe out everything Nintendo in their paths, only to have PS4 snap Xbone's neck after the massacre.

I'm sure glad they know what they're doing.

I made this thread because I want MK8 over 3D world and mad cuz I don't be able to play it until 2014.

Ha -- please. Knack is the kind of game Sony fanboys like to mention when people complain about the system's lack of variety, but none of them actually want to buy it. How would the dudebros treat Knack if it were a Wii U exclusive, I wonder.

I think 3D World is going to shock all the haters when it turns out to be an amazing game. MK8 will be great as well but it's not ready to release yet so you'll just have to wait a little bit longer for it.

If MK8 was ready for the holidays, it'd be releasing.....but its not ready. Mario 3D World is ready. That's all there really is to it.

And I went to the Best Buy demo event, and while yes MK8 was the most played, M3DW was a close second. Its still gonna be a huge release for Nintendo this holiday season. I personally am really looking forward to it.

I never said they were all the same. They are all the same genre which makes for a lack of variety. Wii U has nothing for shooter fans, sports fans, racing fans etc.

you implied... but regardless, theyre different enough even for being in the same genre.

WiiU has a Call of Duty already, and another one will come this year. it also already has Sonic Racing, and Project CARS is coming soon. not sure about sports games but im sure you could find some if you looked.

Tell us ScorpionKing, which gritty M-rated shooter are you most looking forward to for the PS4's launch?

Well whenever Sony announced the system with Knack everyone said it looked shit. Bit of a double standard because if it was announced as a Wii U exclusives it would've been hailed as a system seller. (Knack is also the game I will be purchasing with my PS4 at launch btw, Mark Cerney=the king of platformers)
EDIT: Also why are you bringing up launch titles? The games being mentioned are games that are coming to a system already a year old. In a years time the PS4's library will wipe the floor with the Wii U's first year library.

Implying that CoD without DLC, Sonic, and last year's stripped down Wii U versions of sports games is enough to cover those genres. Where's Battlefield 4, CoD with DLC, Fifa, Madden, NBA, Need for Speed, an exclusive racer like Forza/GT/Drive Club, exclusive shooter like Killzone/Halo.

Wii U is only catering to fans of one genre.

oh sorry i thought you were actually a gamer looking for things to play, not an industry analyst comparing value propositions between consoles.

Can't wait to play that one crappy port of a game that was released 1-2 years ago.

If you're referring to 3d World, I'm disappointed in your choice to be disingenuous. Everyone knows 3d Land was the test bed for the 2d/3d Mario hybrid concept and World is the planned evolution of that; it isn't a port.

If you're not referring to 3d World, then yes Wii U does happen to receive a few ports of old games, but they're good games and it is also getting ACIV and Watch_Dogs so there are new titles on the way too.

Back OT, I too would have preferred it that way round, but hey, MK8 isn't finished yet and I'm buying both anyway so whatever. As NerdMan said though, it may make more sense to put the most popular of the two in the likely drought period of Spring '14.

The same would be true on the Sony Board if Knack was announced as a Wii-U exclusive. There's fanboyism on both sides, yet people like you only act as if there's only fanboyism on one side

My God, I swear, your threads and posts are just getting dumber and dumber

Oh and the 3D World hate, as if THAT hasn't gotten old yet. It's about as dumb as the hate for Knack but, of course, hating on THAT is a capital offense here while hating on 3D World is perfectly fine because it's Nintendo

I still think they could have planned it better from the beginning. SM3DW, Sonic, Rayman, DK and NSMBU (which is still relevant). Why rush out ALL of these platformers at once? They'll compete with each other for no good reason.

Well the Wii U doesn't need another platformer, so it would've looked less appealing on the system yes. Sony however have a very diverse range of genres to chose from, but people somehow seem to sweep them under the rug as shooters are the most popular genre today.
Platformers=Knack/Ratchet and Clank/Little Big Planet/Sly Cooper
Shooters=Resistence/Killzone
Open World=Infamous
Adventure=Uncharted
Stealth=The Last of Us
JRPGs=too many to list! (though Ni No Kuni springs to mind)
Keep in mind all those games (except maybe Ni No Kuni, though the DS version of the game didn't get localised) are exclusives. When you add on to those the 3rd party games Playstation has a ton of variety, so why do fanboys still try and claim it's nothing more than an FPS provider?

LOL!!!

WiiU fall lineup and previously released titles I see plenty of shooters,racers, action, fighters, beat em ups and platformers with only sports titles lacking new releases.

With PS4 I see Killzone, Drive Club, Knack, and Watch Dogs with maybe a Madden or so thrown in.

So yea, where's the variety at so far? Which console has more appeal, games and value this holiday regarding 8th Gen consoles? Hmmm, I think you finally see Nintendo's strategy regarding their launch line up and 2nd holiday against the "big boys".

Where are these "plenty of shooters and racers" at?

All I see on Wii U are platformers and the final few Ubisoft games before they drop support next year.

That's not how reality works. If they could have it finished by the holidays, then it would be released during the holidays.

This.

As much as we all would have loved MK8 this Holiday, there is obviously a reason why it isn't releasing. I don't think Nintendo is stupid enough to hold a game back of that magnitude just for the hell of it when they need it the most.

Honestly, the trend of Wii U getting 360/PS3 ports pretty much seems over. The only game on the upcoming release list that would qualify would be Deus Ex, and that one is shaping up like it could be the definitive version.
